When this thread started I immediately thought of the 1988 semifinals and the SLU win over Minnesota. That game was incredible. It seemed unreal that we were actually at Lake Placid and playing against Minnesota. It was the battle of the little school against the giant. And that giant had the Hobey Baker winner. If I remember correctly, the winning goal came very late in the 3 rd. Pete Lappin scored all three of our goals. He was outstanding. Even the loss to Lake Superior couldn't ruin the thrill of that victory for me. And that is saying a lot considering that loss is still hard to take. I still flashback to that game when a net comes off its mooring/posts/magnets. ( I even enjoy remembering the consolation game between Minnesota and Maine. There were long stoppages in play for sorting out penalties and the goalies (Stauber and ?) tried to pass the puck between themselves to pass the time. The officials took the puck away. Was this the last consolation game in the NCAAs?) Sara SLU '77 Let's go SAINTS!!
